- asdff 5y agoA lot of public schools these days let students take these sort of classes at a local community college and these credits can even transfer into your undergrad. Probably not available in more rural parts that don't have these colleges though.
- sodality2 5y agoThe International Baccalaureate high school program is international and offers exactly that, my experience with it has been incredible so far and I know that it's helped me prepare for college in uncountable ways. Our capstone essay is 4000 words on a class of our choice, so whatever the student is passionate about, they can write their essay on. This is a perfect solution to students who may be intelligent but unmotivated outside of their interest area. For example, mine is about peer-to-peer networking; I spend most of my nights doing research for the paper and it certainly is preparing me for college. It's not available everywhere I believe, but if it's available, there's another option compared to AP classes or regular classes (or other magnet/governor schools).
